Do You Have a Welcome Mat?

CasaSugar — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 07:00:43 -0700

A welcome mat can add personality to the most mundane, run-of-the-mill exterior. It's inviting, and if you have a monogrammed mat, it's a great way to signal to your guests that you live there. Do you have one?Source

Midday Muse: Welcome to the Parker

Are you guys watching the new Bravo show, "Welcome to the Parker"? After stumbling on this photo of the hotel's Jonathan Adler-designed interior, I think I should check it out if only for the eye candy.

Do You Layer Patterns at Your Home?

CasaSugar — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:00:58 -0800

I love the eclectic look of the folksy, layered patterns in this living room. It looks so cozy and welcoming, but still appears pulled together, thanks to the cohesive color palette. Layering this many patterns can be intimidating, however, because it's sometimes hard to know how to pick and choose the best patterns for a space.

Casa Quickie: Dual Doormats

CasaSugar — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 05:30:35 -0800

With all the mud, snow, and slush that enter our homes during the Winter, a doormat is a must. But when holiday party season is in full swing (along with the drinks!), you can't count on your guests to be mindful of the mud. So, you can give them a little nudge by putting a second door mat inside the door, in addition to the exterior welcome mat. If they miss both mats, they must have reeeally long legs. Just make sure to use a thinner doormat inside, or even a low pile rug remnant, and test it to be sure that the door will open smoothly!

1st Dibs to Launch 21st Century Design Department

CasaSugar — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 07:00:53 -0700

Welcome to the 21st century. 1st Dibs, the online destination for antique and vintage furnishings, will launch a new category of furniture on Oct. 21, called 21st Century Design. The department will sell one-of-a-kind and limited-edition pieces between $5,000-20,000. One of the initial offerings will be a limited edition of Poul Kjaerholm's 1953 Molded Aluminum Tripod Chair ($15,000) in blue, gray, yellow, and black from R 20th Century - who had a booth at the 20th Century Modernism Show in San Francisco last month. It's no surprise really that 1st Dibs is going this route, seeing how well modern designs are selling these days. But the truth is, the website already sold these items; they just didn't have their own category. Are you a fan of 21st century design?

When Jeffers Design Group redesigned this wine country getaway, the firm used a mix of traditional and modern elements to shape the space. Playful and classic textiles blend beautifully in living and bedrooms, while Moroccan lanterns add an unexpected element to a high-ceilinged room. Throughout the home, a mix of custom and antique furnishings keeps the feel of the space modern and welcoming.
